Zack Malibu

I did. I ran a face vs. face match in my ROH fed (London debuted in a triangle match with Spanky and Trent Acid, but pinned Acid to win) and they got *****. Spanky is my second most over babyface at about 85, as he and Mark Briscoe feuded with the Backseats and got hugely over.

Look in the mirror and say "hi" .

The original show was entitled "Good Morning, Miss Bliss" and was supposed to be about a teacher and her students. They didn't make the gang (and moreso, Zack) the focal point until the NBC switchover. They never explained why Belding named the duck Becky. Maybe it was just one of those "cute" things.

But I'm still OAOAST born and bred. ::Bitchslaps the SWFer, since this is the OAOAS f'n T.::

Pretty silly (especially Wedding In Las Vegas), but I enjoyed 'em (duh). And Zack's parents were seperated in the Ms. Bliss years, not in the TNBC continuity. He had a different actor playing his dad in the Ms. Bliss ep and all. Once they got bought by NBC that continuity went out the window.

::Can't say anything about the Canadian flag since he knows cute girls from that area.::

Smarks Board Name: Zack Malibu Wrestlers Name: "Urban Legend" Todd Cortez Height: An even 6 ft. Weight: 226 lbs. Hometown: "The Streets" Age: 20 Face/Heel: Tweener Stable: None Ring Escort: None Weapon(s): None Quote: "Bow down or throw down." Looks: [Description of how your character usually looks inc. ring attire.] Thick build, as Todd is jacked but not excessively "cut". Natural olive skin. Closely cropped black hair, faded. Thin black goatee. No tattoos or really distinguishing marks, as even his skin is "pure" due to his straight edge philosophy on life. Wears baggy, blue "Tajiri" style pants and a grey "wifebeater" tank top. Black boots. Both wrists and fists taped up. Wears gold chain and cross to the ring, but removes it before every match, holding it in his hand and kissing it before handing it over to the timekeeper or announcer. Ring Entrance: [How you come out to the ring, music, etc. No need to be extremely specific.] Delinquent Habits "Tres Delinquentes" (Rock Remix) for theme music. Stands at the top of the ramp, crossing his arms in front of him like an X (symbol for straight edge, see CM Punk) and pounds his chest. Will then point to the sky while holding his gold chain/cross as he walks to the ring. Stats: Strength: 4 Speed: 6 Vitality: 4 Charisma: 6 [Can not exceed 20 points in total... NB: Strength, speed, vitality and charisma play a vital part on what moves your wrestler is capable of. Keep this in mind when you write your move lists. See the guide down the bottom of this thread. Maximum of 10 per catagory.] Style: [is your wrestler technical? Power based? Fast? Put it here.] The best way to describe Cortez is that of a "cruiserweight brawler". He can move rather quickly, as a legitimate background in martial arts enhances both his speed and endurance. His involvements in both martial arts training as well as numerous street fights in his youth also add a stiffness to his moveset, as Todd is not known for pulling his punches. Signature moves: [Maximum of 10. Minimum of 6. The moves that make your wrestler famous. Most of the things people have in there top 10 can be considered signature moves.] Shooting Star Plancha (daredevil move, only used in the heat of battle, never "just for the hell of it") Springboard Rana Handspring Elbow (with opponent in corner) Sitout Spinebuster Quebrada (second rope moonsault/Jericho's "Lionsault") Superkick (I would say Todd's would have more effect than a normal, transitional one, as he's got the background in martial arts.) Backdrop Driver Cereal Killer (over the back neckbreaker, aka Mike Sanders' 3.0, or most recently used by Randy Orton. Named as such due to the "Snap, Crackle and Pop" of the opponents neck. Can also be used as a finisher on occasion.) Common moves: [Maximum of 20, 15 preferable. Minimum of 10. The more mundane stuff that your character might use. This is outside of scoop slams, clotheslines, etc, but could include the more stylised suplex, and the like.] Shoulder jawbreaker STO takedown Single leg dropkick Spinning wheel kick Huracanrana Snap powerslam Senton Splash (not a Swanton/flipping senton, but rather just dropping all his weight, back-first onto his opponent, a la Dick Togo). Hangman's Neckbreaker Palm strikes Clubbing forearms Somersault Plancha (any variation, be it slingshot, top rope, running, etc.) Camel Clutch Single-Arm DDT Stepover Armbar (will also put a twist on this move by putting a knee on opponent's shoulder area and digging it in). Judo-throw (ex: blocking a punch, and then turning with your back to opponent, flipping them over your shoulder). Pendelum style backbreaker Snap enzugiri (does not have to be a counter/opponent does not have to be holding one leg). Sweep kick Flying lariat (either from top rope or springboard). Rare moves: [Maximum of 5. No minimum needed. The moves your guy might use every once in a blue moon. He's capable of them perhaps, but might not fit his style, or he may only go up against people he can use these moves on once in awhile] Moonsault Fallaway Slam-with opponent propped on top rope, Cortez stands on the second rope, and grabs opponent in a fallaway slam position, but springs himself off as well, floating over and driving his opponent into the mat, powerslam style. Super Somersault Rana-Todd will launch himself at an opponent Somersault Plancha style, but will catch their head with his legs and snap them over with a huracanrana. Is typically done from the top rope into the ring, but in excessively brutal, "win at all costs" battles, can be done to the opponent on the outside as a highspot of all highspots. Finishers: [2 preferred. 3 at the absolute most. Minimum of 1. EG, 1 power move, 1 submission, 1 top rope, etc... Try not to use the same finisher as somebody else. AN ANKLE LOCK IS NOT A FINISHER! Don't have two finishers if you don't need them.] Urban Assault-Miracle Ecstacy Bomb, aka Chokeslam into sitout powerbomb. Formerly used by Funaki pre-comedy act days. Opponent is grabbed and lifted chokeslam style, and then driven into the mat, as Todd sits out with the move. Street Dreams-Dragon Sleeper/Armbar takedown w/ grapevine. Opponent is grabbed in a reverse facelock (Dragon Sleeper), and Todd takes them to the mat, wrapping his legs around them to make escape tough to come by. With his free (left) arm, he'll wrap it around the opponent's left arm and pull back, also putting pressure on the left shoulder/upper arm area. NOTE:Several of the signature moves may also be used as finishers at various points during his career, but they are non-specific. Notes: [A general description of fighting style and ethic. Anything you want to say about how your character comes across.] Todd should come across as someone who doesn't WANT to win. He should comes across as someone who HAS to win. He will always be focused on his opponent and the task at hand, and is not afraid to get hardcore. He may have benefitted from his martial arts/wrestling training, but the streets have served him just as well. Bio: [Optional. A bit of backround information about your wrestler.] Todd Cortez is a young man who has seen all too much in his short life. One of four children, Todd was raised solely by his mother after she divorced the children's alcoholic father when Todd was just 2. Having looked at his older brother Joshua as a father figure, Todd was scarred permanently at the age of 11 when Joshua, then 25, was killed by a drug dealer whom Joshua's friend owed money too. Vowing to never resort to the "low road" of drugs and alcohol, Todd focused on growing up to be the keeper of his family, protecting them at all costs. He enrolled in a local martial arts school, and took part in his high school wrestling team, winning the State Championship for his division. Despite being pure of heart and mind, Todd couldn't help getting into brushes with the law, as his fights with local thugs and bullies landed him stints behind bars on more than a few occasions. Feeling that he was disgracing his family name by his constant trouble, he's opted to channel his aggression in a more resourceful way, as his SJL paychecks enable him to support himself and his family. Some view Todd as too cocky for his own good, and as having a chip on his shoulder. Todd feels otherwise, that his straight edge lifestyle proves he's better than most people out there, and can back up his boasts whether in the ring or on the street.

::Wears gas mask on Canadian trip.::

JSYK proved that with his drunken fire soccer. He needs to copyright that shit fast.

The Guerrero/Tajiri vs. WGTT feud was the last time I was really into any tag title feuds.

But I don't smoke. Not even cigarrettes. FOILED AGAIN~!, Cdub!

"Sorry Torrie, I'm only Mr. McMahon's sex toy on TV. There's no way I could help get Billy a push."

I think it was something during a workout/exercise, where Bagwell basically started in on Helms saying how he was nothing, Bagwell was a big star, etc. The argument got heated, and Bagwell slapped him, leading to a pull-apart.

The Hardy burial is also amusing to me because here was this kid who came up from jobber matches to one of the most famous tag teams in the company, and then got shit on. Usually the "Hardy push" as we'll call it is reserved for the guys who have come over from another company in order to humble them/get back at someone/whatever. And if Lita is the one in the doghouse lately and that's why Hardy gets jobbed in and out, why the hell is she getting the title shot at the PPV? The lack of logic is astounding.

Yeah, but he quit at the beginning of Jan., so it's really not that far off. Plus, maybe it'll give time for some thought as to his role rather than rush him onto the shows.

Wasn't it Ace who tried to get Diamond, Swinger and Konnan in the company a while back? I don't think he's a strict hoss lover like good ol' JR, which is good. However, his track record for underutilized talent (re: Hardy, Matt) isn't so hot amongst the smark crowd.

I'm with you on this, Askewniverse. I've got a good collection of OVW tapes that I've bought from work and I've been more impressed with what I've seen on the tapes than anything I've seen from the Bashams on Smackdown or Rob Conway on RAW. Dinsmore is one hell of a talent as well...I just don't know if he'll be able to recover once Eugene runs it's course. AS: Save up some dough, give me a call, and I'll send you some OVW that I think would change your tune.

The WWE *still* considered it the better show. True, but at the the time RAW gave us necrophelia and SD! gave us the Smackdown Six. WE knew what the better show was. Now the Smackdown Six are what...Eddie, Bradshaw, Undertaker, Cena, Booker and RVD? Not many MOTY candidates in there.

No you wouldn't. You'd take me out, buy me a beer (Canadian, of course) and tell me it's for always helping you out when I could. For two guys who had characters in a blood feud, we get along pretty damn well.

Undertaker should be the one feuding with Bradshaw, IMO. Not saying it'd be pretty, but it would be better than Bradshaw getting title matches. Remember when people dreaded RAW and looked to Smackdown for good matches and angles?

Tom, that was an AWESOME job on the big promo. Kudos. NY Untouchable is quickly settling in, and I'm liking his stuff. I'm also loving how you guys are using Abe, especially the ex-Minions/Abe interaction. Also loved the CC promo that worked in the new 24/7 Title stipulations, and the perverted cameraman. That was great. Good job all.

It would have said it. Plus, we know there are two June PPV's, so with three DVD's coming out in July, just do the match. Bad Blood=PPV GAB=PPV Benoit=Best Of Collection There ya go.

I would mark the fuck out. I'm actually hoping that the SBTB DVD's carry over to include The New Class, etc. They had the "TNBC" logo on the package of the first set, so maybe it's a sign of things to come.

We looked into it a few years ago, but nothing came of it, since we have always been licensed by either WCW, ECW or WWE at various points. Can't market belts for potential competitors...you know how that goes. (for those who don't know, I'm an employee of Figures Inc./Wrestling Superstore)

Wasn't Steiner using a reverse DDT for a bit? Then again, he seemed to go from Downward Spiral to Reverse DDT to Steiner Recliner 800 times.
